RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Hebron - 05 August 2021. Israeli excavators demolish Palestinian-built houses in the village of Sair northeast of Hebron, which according to Israel were built without authorisation in "Area C" of the West Bank where Israel retains full control over planning and construction. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Fathi Jaradat, Deputy Mayor of Sa'ir. STORYLINE: The Israeli authorities Thursday morning demolished three houses in Sa‘ir town, east of the southern West Bank city of Hebron, according to local sources. Israeli forces into Wadi Ash-Shair area in the town, and tore down three houses belonging to ‘Ahed Jaradat as well as to Jamal Jaradat and his brother, purportedly for being constructed in Area C. Each of the demolished houses comprised three storeys, each of which covered 200 square meters. Israel demolishes Palestinian houses and structures almost on a daily basis as a means to achieve “demographic control” of the occupied territories. Israel denies planning permits for Palestinians to build on their own land or to extend existing houses to accommodate natural growth, particularly in Jerusalem and Area C, which constitutes 60 percent of the occupied West Bank and falls under full Israeli military rule, forcing residents to build without obtaining rarely-granted permits to provide shelters for their families. In contrast, Israel argues that building within existing colonial settlements is necessary to accommodate the “natural growth” of settlers. Therefore, it much more easily gives the over 700,000 Jewish Israeli settlers there building permits and provides them with roads, electricity, water and sewage systems that remain inaccessible to many neighboring Palestinians.
